R&D and Custom Development – Spher’Innov

My Bubble Tea is also Spher’Innov, our Research & Development division dedicated to the custom development of alginate-based food pearls. This natural ingredient, extracted from algae, allows us to encapsulate a liquid inside a thin plant-based membrane. The result: small aromatic pearls that burst in the mouth, offering a unique sensory experience and numerous applications far beyond Bubble Tea.

We combine industrial expertise with scientific know-how to support professionals in formulation, testing and industrialisation of innovative solutions tailored to their needs. Our approach blends creativity, precision and responsiveness to turn each idea into a finished product ready for deployment.

From concept to industrial production

With our production facility located in Brittany, we offer full support from idea to manufacturing: specification definition, recipe development (flavours, textures, colours, pearl diameters from 4 to 12 mm), pilot tests, shelf-life studies, sensory validation and industrial production on our dedicated encapsulation line.

Our technical expertise and mastery of the industrial process enable us to provide specialised know-how at every stage of product development, while meeting food-industry quality and regulatory requirements.

Tailor-made solutions for professionals

Our R&D and product development offer is designed for food-industry stakeholders:

• Manufacturers seeking to bring modernity, texture and surprise to their sweet or savoury recipes.
• Distributors and brands wishing to enrich their catalogue with an innovative product.
• Producers wanting to enhance their fruits, juices, syrups or spirits through a complementary, high-value product line.

Each project involves tailor-made development conducted with full confidentiality, ensuring a perfectly suited solution for every need. Our teams rely on rigorous protocols, pilot-scale trials and a controlled scientific approach.
